Here is a great drill to produce feel, start on the putting green, using only 2 balls. Pick out an imaginary spot on the green 8 to 10 feet away and roll the ball to it. Place the second ball down and immediately try to hit the first ball, do not dally by reading the putt, simply hit it. Try to hit the object ball hard enough to move it away at least 3 feet. If you hit it do it again, from the new spot, each time hitting it hard enough to move it at least 3 feet.
This drill gets the mind on driving the ball at the objective without any thought as to speed control. It is basically a drill for getting the ball started on line. Next roll the first ball 8 to 10 feet and attempt to hit the second ball and leave the balls as close together as possible, touching each other is perfect. Together these 2 drills give touch for speed and line in a way that gets the sub concious involved.
Having done that on the green with the putter, now go off the green and do it by chipping. Start with the 7 iron and chip the ball over at least 3 feet of the fringe, put down another ball and try to hit the ball and move it 3 feet or more. Then try again (from off the green) to just make them touch. Do this with all clubs from the sand wedge to the 5 iron while doing the above drills. When you get pretty good at this switch up clubs, hit the first shot with a sand wedge or 6 iron, then choose another club to make the second shot. Vary the shots make one ball move after hit by thye second ball or make them touch. Soon you will have a number of available clubs and shots to hit around the greens and the touch of a safe cracker. This selection of shots and the touch that goes with them will give you the ability to 1 putt much more often.
